I would've thought it'd be easy to change the two user-facing labels, 
like 5 minutes easy.  Seems to me now would be the ideal time to change 
those two labels.  Or, is it possible to do English translations after 
the string freeze?

Isn't the whole dialog created in Glade, except the Terminal tab (for 
some reason)?  I guess it would just take adding the Terminal in the 
second last position rather than appended on the end if that's the case 
(plus a comment as you say).
